Robin has the potential for a Top 20, 15, 10 player...for sure...but he often has not shown it. He cannot get a complete season together and also his grand slam results are really bad. Very very often loses in 1st or 2nd round there,. 90% i think so.

1-0 Söderling. It really really depends on his 1st serve now.

Bilbo

This is bad.

Chris-swede

1-1, sad, there was a little chance to break and i tell you Blake is not better then Söderling today, he just made the big points in 1st set.

MrJ

10-14-2006, 12:35 PM

Wow, James serving at 88%!! :eek: :eek: I cant see how he can lose serving like that, but knowing James he will find a way :unsure:

Chris-swede

10-14-2006, 12:35 PM

Robin will crash if he serves on like this 33% 1st serves in 2nd set..36%...

and to Khoogy , Robin had 5 of 10 on Blake in 1st set...

Chris-swede

10-14-2006, 12:40 PM

3 time a return on 2nd serve and no point for Robin, not looks good...

back to deuce#2

Chris-swede

10-14-2006, 12:53 PM

Robin is not getting too many 1st serves into the field, and then the problems begin....this match i think could be very much seen on this 1st percentages...40-15...then 40-40 after two 2nd serves....Blake has made 9 Points this set on Robins 2nd service...that is too much! Deuce again...10th point for blake....omg...

crucial point on 2nd serve, and it is for Robin! Wow! A wonder??? He holds! Yeah! There is still a little chance he will win this match, but i do not see it over 20-25%

Anybody remember when Soderling was serving for the 1st set?

I honestly beleive I imagined it.

Chris-swede

10-14-2006, 12:57 PM

Petrova beats Vaidisova 7-6 in 3rd set in Moskow, and they had 22 Aces alltogether!!

MrJ

10-14-2006, 12:57 PM

Soder has been serving like an animal the whole tourny, but Blake likes big servers and is slowly breaking down the serve! :)

damn, mega quick game for blake, he is puttin so much pressure on Soder!! :cool:

I know what you mean! i for myself love to play against big servers, and i have problems with players who only can bring the ball in, i am often not concentrated enough then! But i am no pro....just 14 yrs off little tennis. But i try to play 4 times a week or so!:wavey:

Robin is still chanceless on Blakes service games...Robin had one chance to break...in 1st set...he used it...and had to go up a set...he missed it...like we all know...

That is right! But it is huge important, cause every win from now will boost his ranking so much!!! Until now he is Top 300 on Monday!!! Another win will bring him to 250 or so...with challengers this is not to take too easily...and many players struggled to get back with their Protected Rankings.
